Dymetrol®​ Company, Inc.In the early 1960's, at a time when the only pallet package strapping securing product available was steel strapping, DuPont Company engineers developed a process for "orienting" Nylon Pallet Packaging Strapping Kit.

This process imparts a break strength 3 to 4 times that of an un-oriented nylon plastic strap of the same cross section, strong enough and with sufficient impact resistance to tightly secure pallet package loads of goods during shipment from plant to customer.Tools and machines were developed for securing the nylon plastic strap around the pallet load, eliminating the metal clips used to secure steel strapping. Packaging distributors and strapping producers have been marketing a system involving our nylon plastic strap and their application tools for more than 50 years! Why has virtually every major strapping company marketed nylon plastic strap? Simply because it works, it's easy to apply, and it's cost effective.

Nylon is the strongest and most versatile pallet package strapping product available in the market place for securing pallet loads. In addition to nylon, there are other pallet strapping systems available, including: steel, polypropylene and polyester.

A comparison of the features and performance capability of plastic pallet strap is shown below.

Nylon Plastic Strap — Regarded by many as the premium nonmetallic strap. When applied to pallet load, is elongated approx. 7% and retains this extra tension over time. If load shrinks or shifts during transit, strap recovers and shrinks back to maintain tight grip on load. If load is dropped, momentary additional elongation will occur and prevent strap breakage. Best impact strength and abrasion resistance of any other strap product. Priced such that many users regard the incremental additional price as an insurance premium against loose and/or broken straps, especially with shipments of higher value goods. One of the most cost effective of all strapping materials. Nylon plastic strap can be heat sealed, friction welded, or joined with scored metal or grit seals.

Polypropylene Strap — Least initial tightness after joint is made and highest relaxation over time. Lowest tensile strength and abrasion resistance of the 3 strap types.

Polyester Strap — Much stronger than polypropylene (comparable to nylon). Does not elongate, but initial tightness on the load is retained over time. If load shrinks or shifts in transit, straps can become loose, like steel strap. If pallet is dropped, it is more likely for the strap to break vs. nylon (Nylon will elongate and snap back).

Nylon plastic strapping awaiting shipment to Europe. A total of 3 straps is sufficient to secure boxes to the pallet. Notice the edge protectors that prevent damage to package during tensioning of strapping.

High Recovery nylon plastic strap, unlike steel and polyester strap, is elongated (stretched) when applied under high tension, and recovers when the load is compressed. When pallet loads are stacked with non- Nylon strap it can vibrate in transit causing the non-Nylon straps to become loose. When this happens, the load becomes unstable which can cause product damage and possible injury. Tension recovery is a unique property of our high recovery Nylon strap and our strap will keep the load secure.High recovery nylon plastic strapping is sold through packaging distributors throughout North America.

Nylon plastic strapping can be friction welded using standard tooling. Friction welds provide a strong, secure bond without the use of metal clamps or buckles.

Elongation/Recovery between nylon and polyester

Perfectly suited for loads that shift or shrink in transit or storage

High recovery nylon plastic strap, unlike steel and polyester straps, is elongated (stretched) when applied under high tension, and recovers when the load is compressed or shifts. This tension recovery is a unique property of high recovery nylon strap (HR Strap).

If not using nylon plastic strap, pallet loads that are stacked can vibrate in transit, the straps often become loose. When this happens, the load becomes unstable which can cause product damage and possible injury. Our product will eliminate this problem.

Nylon plastic strapping will recover because of its memory, and nylon plastic straps will remain tight and safe.

Nylon plastic strapping is cost competitive.

Nylon plastic strapping has a working elongation 6% vs. Polyester has a working elongation 1 ½%

Nylon plastic strapping has elongation at break point of 18% vs. Polyester elongation at break point of 12%

Nylon Pallet Package Strapping

Tooling: Friction weld tools, plastic strapping sealers or combination tools can be used to score metal/grit seals. Also “Heat Seals” or “Friction Weld” strapping heads will also seal the plastic strap.
